Mini Tunnel finally building! From Scratch

[home made tunnel]

Hey guys ! Here's some pictures of the tunnel hull I'm building. I did a lot of research, and made a balance of the offshore cat style boats, and inland flats tunnel hulls. It's slightly over 13' long, and about a 5'4" beam. Seats 2, and goal is to have it around 500lbs dry hull, and less than 900lbs fully rigged. I have a 20" shaft 50hp 1999 force outboard in great shape that I got cheap off a friend who was re-powering. I plan on going more power next spring, but this will do ! For now, if I can get over 50mph with this 50 horse, i'll be happy!

Key points: I want a foot throttle, dual batteries, a sweet stereo and speakers, and probably an open bench style seat. Might switch to having an arm rest type of center console - who knows.

Let me know what you think
